slavery ended 148 years ago. The racism against Chinese was just as great as against blacks. This obviously did not deter the Chinese or Japanese who were interred and robbed of properties and businesses during WW2. Both those groups are doing well today.

When a group shows they are capable, are contributors to society, are smart and achievers in America then the racism starts to end. You must earn respect.

1. No, it wasn’t.
2. The Chinese & Japanese weren’t brought here against their will, in chains, and sold at auction like animals.
3. The Chinese & Japanese came from advanced, complex cultures with high rates of literacy and a high value placed on reading, writing and study. The Africans did not.
